Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Chill a collins or highball glass by filling it with ice and setting aside while you build the cocktail.

2

Build and shake

Discard the ice from the glass. In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Bumbu Rum, 3 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.5 oz ginger syrup, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 3 dashes of Angostura bitters. Fill the shaker with ice (enough to come up about two-thirds). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.

3

Prepare glass with crushed ice

Fill the chilled highball glass about three-quarters full with crushed ice (approximately 1 cup).

4

Strain and top

Double-strain the shaken cocktail over the crushed ice using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove small ice chips and any pulp. Ensure the drink settles over the crushed ice, leaving a small crown of ice at the top.

5

Add bitters

Finish by placing 3 small dashes of Angostura bitters on the surface in an appealing pattern (they will float on the foam/ice). If desired, lightly stir once with a barspoon to integrate a faint swirl of bitters through the top layer but keep they mostly on the surface for aroma and visual contrast.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a pineapple wedge or wheel on the rim and optionally skewer a small piece of candied or fresh ginger and balance it on the glass. Serve with a straw and enjoy immediately.
